RECITALS

The Issuer proposes to make an offer to exchange, upon the terms and

subject to the conditions set forth in the Issuer's official statement for

Exchange Offer dated [insert] (the "Prospectus"), and the accompanying Letter of

Transmittal (as defined below, which together with the Prospectus constitutes

the "Exchange Offer"), its 5.15% Senior Notes due 2015 (CUSIP Nos. 88947E AF 7

and U88894 AC 1) (the "Restricted Securities") for an equal principal amount of

its 5.15% Senior Notes due 2015 (the "Exchange Securities" and, together with

the Restricted Securities, the "Securities.")

The Exchange Offer will commence upon the Issuer's providing written

notice of such commencement to Exchange Agent (the "Effective Time") and shall

terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date described under the

terms set forth in the Prospectus (the "Expiration Date"), unless the Exchange

Offer is extended by the Issuer and the Issuer notifies Exchange Agent of such

extension in writing by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the previous

Expiration Date, in which case, the term "Expiration Date" shall mean the latest

date and time to which the Exchange Offer is extended. In connection therewith,

the undersigned parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Appointment and Duties as Exchange Agent. Issuer hereby authorizes J.

P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association, to act as Exchange Agent in

connection with the Exchange Offer, and J. P. Morgan Trust Company, National

Association, hereby agrees to act as Exchange Agent and to perform the services

outlined herein in connection with the Exchange Offer on the terms and

conditions contained herein.

2. Mailing to Holders of the Restricted Securities.

A. As soon as practicable after its receipt of certification from the

Issuer as to the Effective Time, Exchange Agent will mail to each Holder (as

defined in the indenture dated as of November 22, 2002 by and among the Issuer,

Toll Brothers, Inc., the other guarantors that are parties thereto and the

Exchange Agent, as successor to Bank One Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (as

supplemented or amended, the "Indenture")), and to each participant of The

Depository Trust Company ("DTC") identified by DTC as a beneficial holder of any

Restricted Securities (i) a Letter of Transmittal with instructions (including

instructions for completing a substitute Form W-9), substantially in the form

attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Letter of Transmittal"), (ii) a Prospectus

and (iii) a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery substantially in the form attached

<PAGE>

hereto as Exhibit B (the "Notice of Guaranteed Delivery") all in accordance with

the procedures described in the Prospectus.

B. Issuer shall supply Exchange Agent with sufficient copies of the

Prospectus, Letter of Transmittal and Notice of Guaranteed Delivery to enable

Exchange Agent to perform its duties hereunder. Issuer shall also furnish or

cause to be furnished to Exchange Agent a list of the holders of the Restricted

Securities (including a beneficial holder list from DTC, certificated Restricted

Securities numbers and amounts, mailing addresses, and social security numbers),

unless waived by Exchange Agent.

3. ATOP Registration. As soon as practicable, Exchange Agent shall

establish an account with DTC in its name to facilitate book-entry tenders of

Restricted Securities through DTC's Automated Tender Offer Program (herein

"ATOP") for the Exchange Offer.

4. Receipt of Letters of Transmittal and Related Items. From and after the

Effective Time, Exchange Agent is hereby authorized and directed to accept (i)

Letters of Transmittal, duly executed in accordance with the instructions

thereto (or a manually signed facsimile thereof), and any requisite collateral

documents from Holders of the Restricted Securities and (ii) surrendered

Restricted Securities to which such Letters of Transmittal relate. Exchange

Agent is authorized to request from any person tendering Restricted Securities

such additional documents as Exchange Agent or the Issuer deems appropriate.

Exchange Agent is hereby authorized and directed to process withdrawals of

tenders to the extent withdrawal thereof is authorized by the Exchange Offer.

5. Defective or Deficient Restricted Securities and Instruments. A. As

soon as practicable after receipt, Exchange Agent will examine instructions

transmitted by DTC ("DTC Transmissions"), Restricted Securities, Letters of

Transmittal and other documents received by Exchange Agent in connection with

tenders of Restricted Securities to ascertain whether (i) the Letters of

Transmittal are completed and executed in accordance with the instructions set

forth therein (or that the DTC Transmissions contain the proper information

required to be set forth therein), (ii) the Restricted Securities have otherwise

been properly tendered in accordance with the Prospectus and the Letters of

Transmittal (or that book-entry confirmations are in due and proper form and

contain the information required to be set forth therein) and (iii) if

applicable, the other documents (including the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery)

are properly completed and executed.

B. If any Letter of Transmittal or other document has been improperly

completed or executed (or any DTC Transmission is not in due and proper form or

omits required information) or the Restricted Securities accompanying such

Letter of Transmittal are not in proper form for transfer or have been

improperly tendered (or the book-entry confirmations are not in due and proper

form or omit required information) or if some other irregularity in connection

with any tender of any Restricted Securities exists, Exchange Agent shall

promptly report such information to the Holder. If such condition is not

promptly remedied by the Holder, Exchange Agent shall report such condition to

the Issuer and await its direction. All questions as to the validity, form,

<PAGE>

eligibility (including timeliness of receipt), acceptance and withdrawal of any

Restricted Securities tendered or delivered shall be determined by the Issuer,

in its sole discretion.

C. The Issuer reserves the absolute right (i) to reject any or all tenders

of any particular Restricted Securities determined by the Issuer not to be in

proper form or the acceptance or exchange of which may, in the opinion of

Issuer's counsel, be unlawful and (ii) to waive any of the conditions of the

Exchange Offer or any defect or irregularity in the tender of any particular

Restricted Securities, and the Issuer's interpretation of the terms and

conditions of the Exchange Offer (including the Letter of Transmittal and Notice

of Guaranteed Delivery and the instructions set forth therein) will be final and

binding.

6. Requirements of Tenders.

A. Tenders of Restricted Securities shall be made only as set forth in

the Letter of Transmittal, and shall be considered properly tendered only when

tendered in accordance therewith. Notwithstanding the provisions of this

paragraph, any Restricted Securities that the Issuer's President, Chief

Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer, or General Counsel, or any other

person designated by the Issuer's President shall approve as having been

properly tendered shall be considered to be properly tendered.

B. Exchange Agent shall (a) ensure that each Letter of Transmittal and the

related Restricted Securities or a bond power are duly executed (with signatures

guaranteed where required) by the appropriate parties in accordance with the

terms of the Exchange Offer; (b) in those instances where the person executing

the Letter of Transmittal (as indicated on the Letter of Transmittal) is acting

in a fiduciary or a representative capacity, ensure that proper evidence of his

or her authority so to act is submitted; and (c) in those instances where the

Restricted Securities are tendered by persons other than the registered holder

of such Restricted Securities, ensure that customary transfer requirements,

including any applicable transfer taxes, and the requirements imposed by the

transfer restrictions on the Restricted Securities (including any applicable

requirements for certifications, legal opinions or other information) are

fulfilled.

7. Exchange of the Restricted Securities.

A. Promptly after the Effective Time, the Issuer will deliver the form of

Exchange Securities to the Exchange Agent. Upon the Expiration Date, Exchange

Agent is hereby directed to deliver or cause to be delivered promptly Exchange

Securities to the Holders of Restricted Securities that properly tendered such

Restricted Securities in accordance with the terms set forth in the Exchange

Offer. The principal amount of the Exchange Securities to be delivered to a

Holder shall equal the principal amount of the Restricted Securities

surrendered.

B. The Exchange Securities issued in exchange for certificated Restricted

Securities shall be mailed by Exchange Agent, in accordance with the

instructions contained in the Letter of Transmittal, by first class or

registered mail, and under coverage of Exchange Agent's blanket surety bond for

first class or registered mail losses protecting the Issuer from loss or

liability arising out of the non-receipt or non-delivery of such Exchange

Securities or the replacement thereof.

C. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, issuance of the

Exchange Securities for accepted Restricted Securities pursuant to the Exchange

Offer shall be made only after deposit with Exchange Agent of the Restricted

Securities, the Letter of Transmittal and any other required documents.

8. Securities Held in Trust. The Exchange Securities and any cash or other

property (the "Property") deposited with or received by Exchange Agent (in such

capacity) from the Issuer shall be held in a segregated account, solely for the

benefit of Issuer and Holders tendering Restricted Securities, as their

interests may appear, and the Property shall not be commingled with securities,

money, assets or property of Exchange Agent or any other party. Exchange Agent

hereby waives any and all rights of lien, if any, against the Property, except

to the extent set forth in the Indenture with respect to the Exchange

Securities.

9. Reports to Issuer.

A. Exchange Agent shall notify, by electronic communication, the Issuer of

the principal amount of the Restricted Securities which have been duly tendered

since the previous report and the aggregate amount tendered since the Effective

Date on a daily basis until the Expiration Date. Such notice shall be delivered

in substantially the form set forth as Exhibit C.

B. Exchange Agent shall furnish to Issuer any additional reasonable

information available to the Exchange Agent with respect to the tender of

Restricted Securities as may be reasonably requested from time to time in

writing.

10. Record Keeping. Each Letter of Transmittal, Restricted Security and

any other documents received by Exchange Agent in connection with the Exchange

Offer shall be stamped by Exchange Agent to show the date of receipt (or if

Restricted Securities are tendered by book-entry delivery, such form of record

keeping of receipt as is customary for tenders through ATOP) and, if defective,

the date and time the last defect was cured or waived by the Issuer. Exchange

Agent shall cancel certificated Restricted Securities. Exchange Agent shall
